About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Revvity Health Sciences, Inc. for a maintenance service agreement for an IVIS Spectrum CT spectrophotometer. The contract will cover comprehensive maintenance services, including preventative maintenance, repairs, labor, travel, dedicated phone support, and virtual troubleshooting for the proprietary scientific instrument. Only Revvity can provide this service without voiding the manufacturer's warranty, as the hardware, firmware, and software are exclusively manufactured by the company. Interested parties may submit quotations/responses by 12 pm EST on December 30, 2024, to contract specialist Iris Gonzalez at qsx8@cdc.gov. The government will review submissions within thirteen days of the notice's issuance and retain sole discretion on whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and falls under the Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance NAICS code 811210. The maintenance contract covers a single IVIS Spectrum CT instrument with a serial number IS1916N7660, located in the CDC's Viral Special Pathogens Branch. Previous maintenance was handled through a CDC-wide contract with REMI that was discontinued in 2024, leading to this direct procurement from Revvity. The contract value is under $250,000 and is structured with a base period and potential four additional option years. Market research confirmed Revvity as the sole authorized service provider, with pricing determined to be comparable to similar equipment maintenance contracts in the scientific instrumentation market.
